Yes. From macppc install.md:
md_installboot() {
local _disk=$1
# If there is an MSDOS partition on the boot disk, copy ofwboot
# into it.
if fdisk $_disk | grep -q 'Signature: 0xAA55'; then
if fdisk $_disk | grep -q '^..: 06 '; then
if mount /dev/${_disk}i /mnt2 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
# Use cat to avoid holes created by cp(1)
cat /mnt/usr/mdec/ofwboot > /mnt2/ofwboot
umount /mnt2

}
